Welcome to #2 of our 40th Anniversary Deep Dive Album Spotlight. Last time we focused on Motley Crue’s “Theatre of Pain”, an album that epitomized ‘Hair Metal’. This time we’re going to the opposite end of the spectrum.

NY thrashers Anthrax’ second effort “Spreading The Disease” was an important album. Not just for the band, but the Metal underground in general. Along with some of their Big 4 brethren’s key releases, the album introduced a more mainstream audience to the awesomeness that is Thrash Metal. It’s also an old fave of ours that still gets turntable time. Was this your fave ‘Thrax album?

In our “News, Views and Tunes”, we go over the “Metal Massacre…” and “Sisters With Transistor” documentaries. Musically, we crank Sacrifice, C.O.C., Bitch, Living Death, S.S. Decontrol, Lady Beast, 7 Year Bitch, Direct Action, November’s Grief and introduce Toronto’s Villian in our “Indie Spotlight.

Horns Up!!
